Most logical would be under a module named IO, so it would become IO.USB.devices and IO.OneWire.devices or somesuch.
IO sounds like a container module for all things i/o, but in reality there's already a whole lot of i/o elsewhere (Stdio, Protocols, ...). Do you have any coherent vision for what this new container would contain and not contain?
I considered adding it to Protocols. Then figured that Protocols mostly contains IP based protocols.
Then I thought about what these things are about, and decided that the (in my mind) logical group I'm thinking about all has to do with *hardware* I/O.
So I'm currently implementing USB and OneWire, but I could imagine that other stuff that belongs in this category would be things like: I2C, SPI, 1-Wire, USB, JTAG, MIDI, PC keyboard, UART
(Personally I favor a very flat namespace - the top level is afterall the most convenient one, so let's use it. ;) I've never understood the benefit of Standards.pmod, in particular.)
Well, I can understand both camps. Anyone else got opinions?
